A Distribution of Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Louisiana George G. Sims Route 2, Box 237-3 Mansfield, Missouri 65704-9564 [email protected] Received: 4-II-2013 Accepted: 12-IV-2013

This compilation is an attempt to bring together Louisiana odonate collection and distribution information from a variety of sources, and present it in a clear and easily-accessible form. The report actually contains neither any new data nor new collection records, but is an effort to consolidate information from various available sources into a concise and useful form. Every care has been taken to insure the accuracy of the information, and any errors, omissions, or oversights are completely the fault of the author. Methodology

The vast majority of the information contained herein is from Bill Mauffray’s excellent “The Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Louisiana”, which was published in the Bulletin of American Odonatology (Volume 5, Number 1, October 1997) and the additions and corrections to the list through October 19, 2012, available at http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billmauffray/IORIHOME.htm. Anyone interested in the distribution of odonates in Louisiana should first consult this definitive work. I have endeavored to consolidate all of Mauffray’s data into the final version, in addition to consulting individual collecting records submitted by Nick Donnelly’s DOT Map Project and by individual collectors on the Odonata Central website. Few, if any, records I have discovered in other sources will not also appear in Mauffray. The major benefit, in my opinion, to my effort lies in the quick availability of the distribution maps.

A Mauffray checklist of Louisiana odonates, contained in Strickland’s Dragonflies & Damselflies of Louisiana provided a convenient starting point for determining the species likely to be found in the state. After additions to this initial list were made, there appear to be a total of one hundred thirty-seven (137) Louisiana species reported—thirty-seven (37) damselflies and one hundred (100) dragonflies. (Mauffray lists thirty-eight zygopteran species, breaking down Argia fumipennis into two subspecies.)

Dr. John Abbott’s remarkable on-line Odonata Central (www.odonatacentral.org), maintained at

the University of Texas, has proven to be a valuable resource for listing individual collecting efforts and documenting the presence of odonate species throughout the country (and the world).

Information from Odonata Central for the selected parishes (counties) was first extracted, with the submissions from Thomas W. Donnelly’s DOT Map Project segregated from those entries representing collections by other individuals.

The author has presented the distribution data in several ways: first, by listing each of the species found in the area, showing first a distribution map, then a listing, of the parishes(counties) from which the species has been reported. English names, as well as the taxonomic arrangement of the species accounts, are taken from Paulson & Dunkle, 2011. Alongside each parish represented is found an alphabetic code which indicates the source of the information.

This section is immediately followed by a listing of the sixty-four parishesof the state, with a state

map showing the location of the particular parishes, followed by a listing of the individual species which have been reported within each parish, again with each representative species followed by a source code. Species found within the parishes range from a low of eleven (11) in East Carroll Parish to a high of ninety-five (95) in Rapides. The number of species recorded in each parish is probably more directly related to the intensity of collection in that particular parish than to the number of species actually present.

The source codes for the information are as follows:

D - An adult specimen recorded in Thomas W. Donnelly’s DOT Map Project, as shown in the records of Odonata Central. O - An adult specimen has been collected and/or photographed by an individual not affiliated with the DOT Map Project, with identification verified by an expert, and the record appears on Odonata Central. (Note: Odonata Central is not currently configured to maintain records of larval [nymph] specimens.) L - A specimen recorded in Dragonflies & Damselflies of Louisiana. M - A specimen recorded in Mauffray’s The Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Louisiana (1997) or in the additions and corrections to the list (2012). The experts mentioned above consist of several prominent odonatologists who provide verification of all records submitted for inclusion on Odonata Central. Summary

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information. Any erroneous or incomplete data is the fault of the author. Grateful appreciation is extended to Dr. John Abbott and Dr. Bill Mauffray for allowing the use of their web-based resources.

It is sincerely hoped that readers will make the author aware of any other collections or data sources which can be incorporated into revisions of this study.Bill Mauffray has requested that any additional Louisiana collection data be forwarded to him, as well, so that he may keep his study current. He may be contacted at:[email protected]. All suggestions, comments, or corrections are welcomed, and should be directed to the author of this paper.

Odonate Collection Frequency by Parishes

The map below shows the number of species recorded in each of the sixty-four (64) parishes of Louisiana. In the opinion of the author, a low number of species collected in a particular parish does not necessarily prove a paucity of species present, but may merely represent a low number of collectors/observers working in that region. The information, however, may prove useful to those odonatists seeking new parish records, or who desire to venture into more virgin territory, as they may wish to concentrate on the under-collected areas. Pink– <20 species collected/observed Light Gray– 21-40 species collected/observed Dark Gray– 41-60 species collected/observed Light Green – 61-80 species collected/observed Black – >81species collected/observed

Thomas W. “Nick” Donnelly’s groundbreaking DOT Map Project formed the foundation for much of the distribution information contained on Odonata Central, the brainchild of Dr. John Abbott at the University of Texas. This effort would have been impossible without the convenient databank found therein, encompassing both the DOT Map data plus personal collection data from odonatists throughout the country. Gayle and Jeannell Strickland’s 2010 Dragonflies & Damselflies of Louisiana contained a most helpful “Checklist of the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Louisiana”, compiled by former Louisiana resident Bill Mauffray. This list, which mentioned one hundred thirty-one (131) species—thirty-five (35) damselflies and ninety-six (96) dragonflies, can be found at http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billmauffray/lalist.html. That total has now been expanded to one hundred thirty-seven (137) species, with the addition of two more zygopteran and four more anisopteran types found.

Louisiana is fortunate to have many dedicated individual collectors, who have provided1,033 confirmed and verified submissions to the Odonata Central database, through February 4, 2013.Major individual collectors, who have contributed at least a dozen Louisiana records to Odonata Central, include:John Abbott (University of Texas Collection), Berlin Heck (Oklahoma), Troy Hibbitts (Texas), Jim Johnson (Washington), Ronnie Maum (Louisiana), Kelby Ouchley (Louisiana), Rosemary Seidler (Louisiana), Steve Shively (Louisiana), George Sims (Missouri), Jeff Trahan. The efforts of these indefatigable odonatists is greatly appreciated.
